      <Description>MILLE LACS HEALTH SYSTEM (MLHS) IS A RURAL HEALTH SYSTEM LOCATED IN ONAMIA, MN, 80 MILES NORTH OF THE TWIN CITIES ON THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE MILLE LACS. OUR SYSTEM INCLUDES A 25-BED ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL, A 57-BED LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY, A 10-BED SENIOR CARE FACILITY, HOME CARE, HOSPICE, A BLS AND PART-TIME ALS AMBULANCE SERVICE, AS WELL AS AN ATTACHED MEDICAL CLINIC. MLHS ALSO OPERATES CLINICS IN THE TOWNS OF ISLE, HILLMAN, GARRISON AND MILACA. OUR MEDICAL STAFF ALSO PROVIDES COVERAGE TO THE NE-LA-SHING CLINIC ON THE NEARBY MILLE LACS RESERVATION. THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS ORGANIZED AS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT CORPORATION. DUE TO THE LACK OF AVAILABLE HEALTHCARE OPTIONS IN THIS CENTRAL MINNESOTA REGION, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS DESIGNATED THIS COMMUNITY AS A MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA IN TERMS OF PRIMARY CARE CLINICS. THE REMOTENESS OF HEALLHCARE SERVICES TO THE MILLE LACS COMMUNITIES IN THE 1950'S PROMPTED AN AREA-WIDE COMMUNITY EFFORT TO BUILD A HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL WAS COMPLETED IN 1956 AND, FIVE YEARS LATER A NURSING HOME WAS BUILT ADJACENT TO IT. OVER THE YEARS, THE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN EXPANDED AND MODERNIZED AND RENAMED SEVERAL TIMES. IN 1995, AN AMBITIOUS BUILDING PROJECT AND INTEGRATION EFFORT, WHICH INCLUDED A NEW HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM, REHABILITATION CENTER, AND CLINIC SPACE WERE COMPLETED. THIS BUILDING PROJECT WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH NEARLY A HALF MILLION DOLLARS WHICH WERE RAISED LOCALLY. IN 2001, A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT WAS STARTED TO FURTHER UPGRADE THE HOSPITAL AND LONG-TERM CARE SERVICES AND POSITION US TO MEET THE GROWING HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE AREA. IN 2010, AN EXPANSION PROJECT INCLUDED NEW SPACE IN THE BASEMENTE OF LAKE SONG ASSISTED LIVING; EXPANSION AND REMODEL OF THE ONAMIA CLINIC; NEW PHARMACY DEPARTMENT; AND A NEW OUT-PATIENT DEPARTMENT.MILLE LACS HEALTH SYSTEM SERVES A PERMANENT POPULATION OF BETWEEN 12,000 AND 15,000, INCLUDING RESIDENTS OF THE MILLE LACS RESERVATION. BECAUSE OF THE RECREATIONAL FEATURES OF THE MILLE LACS AREA, MLHS ALSO SERVES A NUMBER OF SEASONAL RESIDENTS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT DURING THE BUSY SUMMER AND HOLIDAY WEEKENDS THERE ARE UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 25,000 PEOPLE IN THE AREA. THIS NUMBER IS BASED ON STATISTICS FROM LOCAL RESORTS, MOTELS, AND CAMPGROUNDS. THE CLOSEST ACUTE CARE FACILITY IS 38 MILES AWAY IN PRINCETON. THE CLOSEST TERTIARY CARE FACILITY IS 55 MILES AWAY IN ST. CLOUD. THE CLOSEST SECONDARY LEVEL IS 50 MILES AWAY IN BRAINERD. MLHS IS THE ONLY PROVIDER OF ACUTE CARE WITHIN OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREA OF ONAMIA, HILLMAN, ISLE, GARRISON AND WAHKON, WHICH INCLUDES THE MILLE LACS RESERVATION.MILLE LACS HEALTH SYSTEM ALSO SERVES PATIENTS OUTSIDE THE PRIMARY SERVICE AREA. THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES MORA, BOCK, MILACA, AND OGILVIE.</Description>

        <Explanation>PART I, LINE 3C: THE FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES PROVIDE THE INITIAL FRAMEWORK TO DETERMINE THE INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO PAY. INDIVIDUALS WITH INCOME AND ASSETS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN THE FEDERAL POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES, WITH NO OTHER AVAILABLE ASSETS MUST BE EVALUATED TO SEE IF THE PATIENT FIRST QUALIFIES FOR ASSISTANCE FROM ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL COUNTY PROGRAMS SUCH AS MA. A REASONABLE PAYMENT SCHEDULE OVER A ONE OR TWO YEAR PERIOD WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE INTERVIEW PROCESS. THE PORTION THAT WILL BE WRITTEN OFF SHOULD THEN BE CLASSIFED AS A CHARITY DISCOUNT. INDIVIDUALS WITHIN TWO (2) TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES MAY ALSO HAVE SOME MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE. THE PATIENT DEDUCTABLE AND NONCOVERED SERVICES MAY BE LARGE ENOUGH THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IN INCAPABLE OF PAYING OFF WITHIN A 1-2 YEAR PERIOD. THEREFORE, THIS UNPAYABLE AMOUNT BY THE PATIENT MAY BE CLASSIFED AS CHARITY DISCOUNT.</Explanation>

      </Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
      <Form990ScheduleHPartVI>
        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 4: A COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO WAS USED TO REPORT BAD DEBT FIGURES. THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO WAS DERIVED FROM THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEUDLE H, WORKSHEET 2. AMOUNTS ON LINE 3 WERE CALCULATED MANUALLY BY REVIEWING ALL BAD DEBT CHARGES FOR PATIENTS THAT HAD ANY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR PMAP/MNCARE COVERAGE AND GUARANTOR NOTES REGARDING CHARITY CARE. MOST OF THE VISITS INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL WERE FOR PATIENTS THAT MAY HAVE QUALIFIED FOR CHARITY CARE, BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO APPLY OR COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. MLHS DOES OFFER ASSISTANCE IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CHARITY CARE FORMS.FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSUREPATIENT AND RESIDENT SERVICE REVENUE IS RECORDED AT THE ORGANIZATION'S ESTABLISHED RATES WHEN THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED, WITH CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS DEDUCTED TO ARRIVE AT NET PATIENT AND RESIDENT SERVICE REVENUE. TOTAL CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010 WERE APPROXIMATELY $24,001,000 AND $20,405,000, RESPECTIVELY. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES CARE WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED RATES (CHARITY CARE) TO PATIENTS WHO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA. CHARITY CARE AMOUNTS ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE, AS THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION.PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, WHERE A THIRD-PARTY PAYOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE AMOUNT, ARE CARRIED AT A NET AMOUNT DETERMINED BY THE ORIGINAL CHARGE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED, LESS AN ESTIMATE MADE FOR CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENTS OR DISCOUNTS PROVIDED TO THIRD-PARTY PAYORS.PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE DUE DIRECTLY FROM THE PATIENTS ARE CARRIED AT THE ORIGINAL CHARGE FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED LESS AMOUNTS COVERED BY THIRD-PARTY PAYORS AND LESS AN ESTIMATED ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES BASED ON A REVIEW OF ALL OUTSTANDING AMOUNTS ON A MONTHLY BASIS. MANAGEMENT DETERMINES THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BY IDENTIFYING TROUBLED ACCOUNTS, BY USING HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE APPLIED TO AN AGING OF ACCOUNTS, AND BY CONSIDERING THE PATIENTS FINANCIAL HISTORY AND CREDIT HISTORY AND CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. TOTAL ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010 WERE APPROXIMATELY $2,124,000 AND $1,802,000, RESPECTIVELY. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE WRITTEN OFF WHEN DEEMED UNCOLLECTIBLE. RECOVERIES OF RECEIVABLES PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN OFF ARE RECORDED AS A REDUCTION OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE WHEN RECEIVED.THE ORGANIZATION HAS AGREEMENTS WITH THIRD-PARTY PAYORS WHICH PROVIDE FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION AT AMOUNTS DIFFERENT FROM ITS ESTABLISHED RATES. THE PRIMARY PAYORS ARE MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD.THE ORGANIZATION HAS A CONTRACT WITH MEDICARE AS A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL (CAH). UNDER CAH STATUS, HOSPITAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE PAID BASED UPON A COST-REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY, WITH TENTATIVE RATES PAID DURING THE YEAR ON ALL INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT HOSPITAL SERVICES AND FINAL SETTLEMENT DETERMINED AFTER SUBMISSION OF AN ANNUAL COST REPORT.BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD REIMBURSEMENT IS BASED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S ESTABLISHED RATES. MEDICAL ASSISTANCE REIMBURSEMENT FOR HOSPITAL PATIENTS IS BASED ON PROSPECTIVELY ESTABLISHED RATES.
